New member from Florida
Greetings from Florida, former 3 time C3 owner. 2) 73's and a 72. Looking to get back into Corvette ownership after 10 years of the 4x4 world. I'm leaning toward a C5 this time. Flip up headlights forever.

To clarify, I live in Key West. A 2 x 4 mile island with a max speed of 35 mph. Not the most practical place for a corvette but that's not on my priorities list LoL.
